Chapter 60: Disputes in the Rivers and Lakes
Press Liangshan and a group of heroes do not mention it, and say that Weizhou, Shaanxi Province in the northwest is a big city in the northwest, with important transportation roads, a large population, and constant business travel. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On this day, under the largest teahouse in Weizhou, there were many people around, and there were two groups of Jianghu people performing here. A group of Jianghu people are two brothers, but when they saw that the older one was like a river, he loudly confessed to the onlookers: "Come!" Take a look, take a look! Those who have money hold a money field, and those who don't have money hold a personal field, come to Guibao Land today, and inherit the old and young masters. We are beginners, and there are places where the teachers are not available and the art is not proficient. If you see that we are still practicing like that, please raise your noble hand and reward us with money for meals and accommodation, and if anyone forgets to bring money when they go out, we will not be angry when we look at us. I just ask you to stay at your feet and cheer on your feet, and we are also grateful. ”
The man shouted for a while, but many people gathered. The two brothers, one with a knife and the other with a stick, played singles and doubles. The moves are only good to look at, and they win bursts of applause.
These two people belong to the "melon line" in the rivers and lakes, and the "melon line" should actually be called the "hanger line", and the people who eat by performing martial arts in the rivers and lakes are called "hangers", which is also called "playing tricks". In order to make money, in addition to performing martial arts, the "melon line" people also sell some wild medicines such as strong pills, and pay special attention to shouting.
In the Jianghu industry, the nomadic Jianghu profession is mainly divided into four categories: towel, skin, plum, and melon. "Towel line", as the name suggests, most of the people in the rivers and lakes engaged in this industry wear Confucian scarves and kudzu scarves, showing that they are from Confucianism and Taoism, and they are cultured people, different from the "village stupid fools" who are engaged in the art of playing tricks. They are engaged in mental work, such as face-to-face, word measurement, fortune-telling, letter writing, etc., with the title of gentleman. Although the people in the "towel walk" eat "cultural" food, they have a skill that they must not let go. This is the trick of the rivers and lakes - you have to learn to figure out the psychology of customers, and the rhetoric is fascinating, which is the real "ability" of people in the "towel line" to eat together. (There are such people on the streets now, and book lovers must have met them.) )
The name "Pi Xing" comes from the Manchu people, but there were also such people in the earlier dynasties, such as barefoot doctors and Jianghu Langzhong. The Manchu people of the Qing Dynasty believed in shamanism, and relied on witch doctors to dance the gods to cure diseases, dancing with their hands and beating leather drums at the same time. This leather drum is used in the Northeast Duo Zhuan "Shen Tune". After a long time, the leather drum has become the symbol of the doctor, and after the full people enter the customs, people are accustomed to calling the Jianghu traveling doctor as "leather line". Later, the Langzhong people of the leather shop did not beat the leather drum, but changed it to a rattle, "like a circle, hollow and bold, making a deafening sound", so their other name "bell doctor" is more vivid.
The rest of the singers, jugglers, and jugglers, because the ancestor they worship is Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, who has gathered all kinds of artists in the pear garden, so they call themselves "plums". On the rivers and lakes, there are also those who call them Caimen, probably because people in this industry often use oil paint to disguise their faces when performing.
"Aha! It's not early, there are a lot of people, and it's time for our show to start! In the crowd, another performer also shouted.
I saw that it was a thin, yellow-faced man, with swords, guns, swords, halberds and other weapons placed horizontally and vertically under his feet. At this time, the big man was holding a big gun, picking it up like a windmill, and only the sound of the wind "whirring" was heard. The left and right big loops, the flower arrangement under the mountain is beautiful!
As the saying goes, there is no harm if there is no comparison, the martial arts of the two brothers are just average, without the majesty of this yellow-faced man, people who watch the excitement are attracted by him a lot!
The big man played with the big gun for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Chick! "The big gun stabbed half an inch into the ground. It also looks majestic, and it has a bit of fierce demeanor.
I saw that the big man set up a big gun, took out a small gong from his jacket, and struck it a few times, "Dangdang" and a few times, "Singles and singles, you can't do without help!" No gentleman, no artist! Those who will see it will look at the doorway, and those who will not see it will be lively, and they will come to your place just to eat a mouthful, and they are not good at learning and art, and please Haihan. After shouting for a while, the big man struck the gong several times in a row.
This big man is eloquent, and he is better than that group of brothers, and someone immediately rewarded him with copper coins. You have two articles, and the gongs will be more than a few in a while.
As the opening remarks of the show said, "Just talking but not practicing, that's a mouthful of words." There is talk and practice, which is the real style! "The two brothers over there have no real skills, and it is difficult to get together, so they have to watch the big man collect money.
The two brothers traveled north and south, endured a lot of hardships, and were not good at learning arts, and they didn't want to be humiliated today. The younger brother was angry, and he also picked up the gong and shouted: "Cangshan is high, soar immediately, how high is the urine after eating, buy a pack and get a pack, you can treat it if you can't finish eating, and then with the roots of the old pear tree, you can hear the thunderbolt and ......."
The elder brother and the younger brother cooperated tacitly, and he had already taken out the prepared pills to help the younger brother by the side. "What?"
"The doll just fell off!"
But it turned out that the two brothers saw that martial arts couldn't attract people, so they directly sold Ant Strength Pills! "Ladies and gentlemen, don't miss it when you pass by! Everyone's face ......"
Before the two brothers could finish speaking, a fat man with an open chest and a big belly like a grasshopper walked out of the teahouse. Behind the stout man, there were also four thug-looking people, and at first glance, this person had some power.
The men parted the crowd and came to the brothers who were performing arts. The stout man stopped, and one of the boys behind him stepped forward and said, "Hey, where are you birds from?" Dare to shout here, boxing and performing, don't you know that this is the territory of Zheng Daguan? ”
The two brothers had already met this time, and the elder brother immediately showed a smiling face, took out the copper coins that had not gained much, and handed them over, "My two brothers have just arrived in the treasure land, and they are taken care of by Lao Zheng Daguan!" Harvest today, in full! ”
When the copper coins in their hands were taken away, the two brothers stood behind the surnamed Zheng naturally. The two of them looked directly at the yellow-faced man on the other side, and he was afraid that his harvest would not be two or three times!
Seeing this, the yellow-faced man hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "As the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty!" When you first arrive, you're leaving! "But he knows that the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, and he knows that he can't afford to provoke and plan to hide.
Unexpectedly, the gang didn't let go, and the thug who spoke first grinned and said: "Where are you at this time, you stand on the field to perform, and the money must be taken out!"
As soon as he heard that he wanted two yuan of money, the yellow-faced man said anxiously: "This official, I will take more than two yuan in total, and I will give you what kind of life I have!" ”
A thug and his accomplice have experienced such a lot of things, and he smiled and said: "It's okay if you don't pay the money, then don't blame our brother for being polite!" ”
The official surnamed Zheng may have been waiting in a hurry, waved his hand, and said impatiently: "Smash all his family affairs!" ”
If you come to the rivers and lakes to perform arts, you will challenge his majesty, how can he deal with himself in Weizhou!
The yellow-faced man hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and pleaded, "Everyone...... Don't ...... you, I still eat on them! `”
The fat man, where to pay attention, shouted again, "Little guys, smash me!" ”
